Explanation

Streaming media is a technology that allows you to hear and watch video clips as soon as they start downloading from the Web site, instead of waiting for the download to complete. Answer option C is incorrect. HTTP streaming is a simple mechanism for sending data from a Web server to a Web browser in response to an event. Every time a seek operation is performed, the media player makes a request to the server side script with a couple of GET variables. One is the file to play and one is the start position. The server side script then starts the video from the offset given. For example, after starting the video, a user can jump directly to any part in the video without having to wait until it is loaded. Answer option A is incorrect. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), designed by Henning Schulzrinne and Mark Handley in 1996, is a signaling protocol, widely used for setting up and tearing down multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over the Internet (VoIP).Answer option D is incorrect. Slipstreaming is a process of integrating service pack updates into the Windows XP Professional setup files. The slipstreaming process eliminates the need of deploying service pack update on each computer separately.
